Question:
I need suggestions for liquids both light and clear.

Is milk permitted as a light liquid? What about yogurt smoothies? My surgery is the day after tomorrow!    — Diane H. (posted on August 12, 2002)

Your surgeon should have given you instructions as to what is allowed prior to your surgery. If not, then call his office and ask. Don't depend on what people tell you on here as to what you can have. Good luck with your surgery!

For clear liquids, try unsweetened iced tea and add Splenda to it. It's awesome!

Homemade chicken soup! I lived on it! and I still like to make it & freeze in ice trays to moisten all meats while cooking. Chicken soup: boil the chicken for hours in a large soup pot with 1 white onion, 1 bay leaf, 1/2 tsp. white pepper, carrots & celery. Strain & just use the broth. (later on, makes great chicken salad or pureed)
